He gets a little restless. But nothing too obvious. He’ll tap his foot but it isn’t visible under his boots. The most overt thing he does is cuticle biting.
I don’t think he does approach the Phreaks. He feels a bit awkward about it. But also he’s mostly in Italy because that’s where Talon is based, and ergo is where Emre is. I might be wrong lorewise here but I think the Phreaks are predominantly in Scotland so it wouldn’t make sense for Sy to pursue them anyway.
Sy is not a subtle man at all. He doesn’t really have a gauge of how he’s behaving???? He can’t tell if he’s speaking too loudly, he can’t tell what tone of voice he’s using, he can’t tell how subtle he’s being. He doesn’t realise but he has his emotions on his sleeve all the time. But being masked helps compensate for that. You know those vids with the audio that says “I don’t like this person but I think I’m hiding it pretty well” and then it cuts to the narrator grimacing. Syphon is kinda like that lol. Emre has an inkling as to how Sy feels but wouldn’t push it in case he’s completely wrong and then it’s awkward. But Sy likes to talk to Emre ALL the time. And if Emre isn’t available Syphon can take that as a personal attack, even if it’s got nothing to do with him. He’s like this with most people but with Emre it’s tenfold because Syphon has feelings for him.
Like I said, Syphon falls for Emre harder because Emre really puts in the effort to make Syphon feel included and understood, which is something he didn’t feel either in school or at Overwatch.
Syphon wants to help Emre desperately and he does what he can. But he’d never hurt anyone to do it. I originally planned on him having a really loose moral compass (that ultimately he wants good things to happen but he’ll do anything to do it like torturing people). Idk if you know him but think Vigilante from Peacemaker. I originally planned him to be like that. But I decided that doesn’t make sense with his current motivations with saving Emre.
He’s simultaneously very confident but also unsure of himself. He’s not afraid to make a fool of himself but like I said he’s very scared of taking off his gas mask and sunglasses.
Sy and Emre do become official but I haven’t figured out exactly how yet. It’s very fun to imagine their interactions leading up to it though. I like to think about them flirting with each other, the tension, these little touches. I like to imagine them having to hide in a wardrobe or smth and it’s very intense for the both of them haha.
Emre does know that Syphon is trying to save him. I haven’t thought about how Chernobog feels about that. Obviously he wouldn’t like it. And there are probably moments where Syphon goes to meet up with Emre, only to be faced with Chernobog and having to defend himself from Chernobog’s attacks because he doesn’t want to physically hurt Emre. He’s probably confiscated Emre’s pistol because it has spikes on the handle and doesn’t want to see Emre hurt which obviously pisses off Chernobog I imagine.
Syphon has probably considered a third option of allowing Emre and Chernobog to both coexist because Chernobog is a sentient being like any other omnic and who is Sy to decide whether Chernobog gets to live or not? He’s probably confiscated considers finding an empty vessel for Chernobog to move to so he’s not harming Emre.
I can imagine Chernobog makes for some quite awkward encounters when Emre and Syphon get together. If they’re kissing or anything intimate, if Chernobog decides to take over I’m not sure how Syphon would react. I’m not sure if Chernobog would try and kill Syphon in a moment like that or keep kissing him. It’s an interesting dynamic to explore. Idk if Emre is comfortable with Chernobog pursuing Syphon, and idk if Chernobog would even pursue Syphon. Would Chernobog give them privacy during moments like that? Would he get involved? Would Syphon want that? I don’t know.
I think Chernobog eventually becomes more fond of Syphon’s presence the longer he sticks around, even though Syphon is trying to get rid of Chernobog in one way or another.
I’d love to draw and write interactions between the two. I’d happily share them with you. I know you’re a writer too so maybe it’d be fun to collab at some point?
Also do you have any OCs, overwatch or otherwise?
